How many of you use old equipment because you enjoy it?

I'm just curious if there is anyone else like me? Everyone around me all have new tractors with cabs and here I am using my old stuff for two reasons. It's what I grew up using so I know how to use it and because I enjoy using it. I think old tractors and machinery have personalities. I remember being a kid and riding the fender of our Ferguson TO-30 and MF 165 and I would watch and study whatever piece of equipment we were using at the time. I would try to figure out how it worked. I just have fond memories of the old equipment. Nothing would make me more excited than to get off the school bus and see that the corn picker was hooked up. I only got to see it and use it a couple of days a year. Now here I am 30 years later choosing to use the same stuff. I often laugh because I will see people driving out the road and they will stop and watch and even take pictures of me out there chugging along. I enjoy my plow time...I love the smell of freshly turned soil. I love the smell of freshly mowed hay. Is it silly to use old stuff? Possibly...it takes longer, may even cost more money, and certainly tractors with cabs are better for your health,but would I trade? Probably not

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor.
